playmaking
Setting teammates up
Playmaking is the skill of creating scoring opportunities in team sports, especially by passing or positioning that sets up teammates.
A point guard known for playmaking distributes the ball to open shooters.
The term extends to anyone who orchestrates action: Her playmaking in the midfield controlled the game.
A playmaker sees the whole field and makes things happen for others.
